The American Library Association has a wonderful website called "Great Web Sites for Kids," which lists fun and useful websites for kids by category. Each recommended site also has an icon next to it denoting whether it is appropriate for Pre-K, Elementary, or Middle School-aged kids. There is even an icon for useful Parent/Teacher sites. It's a great resource for homework and research help, and just for entertainment.Here is a random sampling of some of the sites you'll find recommended at Great Web Sites for Kids:
- Go West Across America with Lewis and Clark: An interactive journey with Lewis and Clark, at National Geographic.
